After hearing what Prince Su Shu said, the Shaofu Ling Qi Zizhang immediately complimented: "Military industry production has always been a matter of great concern to His Majesty.

All factories that produce weapons and ammunition are government-run factories managed by the Shaofu.

The management standards of military factories are fundamentally different from other factories.

The quality of every bullet produced by the military factory is traceable for life.

Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Cabinet are keeping an eye on the arsenal, but the Metropolitan Government is also keeping an eye on the arsenal.

It is still possible to unite one or two forces to form a nest case.

But it is too difficult to unite all forces just to counterfeit weapons and ammunition."

Qi Zizhang didn't think anything would happen to the military factory. The difficulty was too high.

A person with this ability can easily make money from other channels, so why bother doing this kind of beheading business?

Wen Qing, the left assistant minister of the Logistics Department, then assured: "Our Logistics Department is particularly strict in inspecting weapons and ammunition.

The Logistics Department places orders from military factories to purchase weapons and ammunition.

Before being sent to the front line, they will undergo strict random inspections.

Other products are just a few random samples.

Each batch of weapons and ammunition will undergo detailed random inspection to ensure that soldiers on the front line will not use inferior weapons."

There was one thing Wen Qing didn't say yet. This guarantee was a lesson learned at the cost of hundreds of lives.

Even if a military factory dares to produce inferior weapons and ammunition, their logistics department does not dare to purchase them.

Prince Su Shu is very clear about the situation of the military factories in the empire.

Military factory production requires supervision from all parties.

The procurement of weapons by the Logistics Department is another supervision process.

When weapons and ammunition are sent to the front line, the army will also conduct random inspections.

If all these inspection links are missing, the imperial officialdom is hopeless.

Prince Su Shu said happily: "My father and I both believe in the quality of military factories.

There is no rush to inspect the situation in the military factory now."

The Shaofu Ling Qi Zizhang saw that Prince Su Shu was in a better mood, and he noticed the direction in which they were traveling in this car.

Qi Zizhang asked in confusion: "Your Highness, we are heading to Tongzhou.

I remember there weren’t many large factories in Tongzhou.”

Prince Su Shu nodded and said: "Tongzhou does not have large factories, but it is one of the largest railway hubs in the empire.

Most supplies for the European battlefields traveled by sea.

The sea route carries a lot of goods, and the empire's main industrial clusters are also along the coast.

But there is another major artery in the empire, which is the combined transportation artery composed of roads and railways.

Now the railway has been built to the Persian region.

Urgent commodities were shipped to Persia by rail and to the front via the Suez Canal, which was more efficient.

Once the railway reaches Europe, land transportation will be more efficient.

Bulk commodities such as food, weapons and ammunition are generally transported by sea.

The quantity required by the army is not huge, but it is urgently needed goods and is suitable for transportation by railway.

These things are more likely to cause problems."

After Qi Zizhang listened, he showed a relaxed smile.

The Shaofu is responsible for bulk commodities, food, diesel, weapons and ammunition, and clothing.

These products generally have low unit prices and extremely large quantities, making them more suitable for shipping by sea.

The difference in shipping price is one penny, and if the scale goes up, it's a business worth tens of thousands of taels.

Officials like them would definitely not choose a high freight option unless necessary.

Otherwise, it would simply not pass the court's review.

Qi Zizhang turned to look at Wen Qing, who was a little nervous.

The Logistics Department is responsible for all material procurement for the military. If Tongzhou really detects a problem, the Logistics Department must take responsibility.

Wen Qing noticed Qi Zizhang's gaze, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

When Prince Su Shu did this, he was obviously not just going through the motions, but really wanted to find out something.

He could only pray that the officials in the Logistics Department would be honest and honest and not cause anything to happen.

But based on his understanding of those people, things will definitely develop in the direction that worries him.

The only thing that makes me happy is that as an official with a bright future, he has not been involved in some bad things.

He was only worried that these officials would affect his future, not that he would be dismissed and investigated after the incident.

The convoy soon arrived at Tongzhou Railway Station.

This is the largest land freight hub in the north.

A specially designated area is responsible for the supplies shipped to the European frontline armies.

Prince Su Shu smiled when he saw trains emitting black smoke transporting large amounts of supplies on the tracks.

Maritime and land transportation can transport massive amounts of materials and send them to the front line in a timely manner.

This is the fundamental reason why the army is invincible.

He saw that among the large number of steam trains, there were several diesel engine trains being tested.

Diesel locomotives are shorter, but more powerful.

Diesel locomotives do not need to leave a large amount of coal behind, and the reduced weight can be used to transport supplies.

Prince Su Shu believes that just like diesel cars obsolete steam cars.

Diesel-based diesel locomotives will also eliminate steam locomotives.

Lu Xiaoyu, an official in charge of the railway station, saw the arrival of Prince Su Shu and his entourage.

He immediately realized that another high-ranking official came here to inspect.

This kind of thing happens often, and he already has experience in dealing with it.

Lu Xiaoyu looked humble and walked to the front of the motorcade.

He saw the Shaofu Ling Qi Zizhang coming out of the car, especially the ornament on his chest that represented a third-grade official.

Lu Xiaoyu was shocked that the officials who came this time were of such high rank.

Under normal circumstances, you should be accompanied by officials from the Railway Administration.

He already realized in his heart that something big was going to happen today.

When he saw Wen Qing, the look of surprise on his face became even stronger.

Lu Xiaoyu didn't expect that two third-grade officials would come today.

This must be something serious. I just hope it doesn't affect him.

When Lu Xiaoyu saw the man wearing a python robe, his calves were trembling.

This dress can only be worn by princes and princes.

As we all know, the princes of the empire are all overseas, and anyone who comes directly identifies himself.

His Royal Highness came to their small train station in person, something big must have happened.

Lu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said before him: "Lu Xiaoyu, the director of Tongzhou Railway Station, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Su Shu waved his hand, and Lu Xiaoyu stood up.

He asked directly: "Take us to the warehouse where materials are shipped to Europe. I want to check the status of the materials shipped to Europe."

When Lu Xiaoyu heard Prince Su Shu's instructions, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After understanding the purpose of Prince Su Shu's visit, he didn't need to worry. It was definitely not an accident at the train station.

As long as this option is eliminated, being able to show off in front of Prince Su Shu is a great thing.

Lu Xiaoyu immediately turned sideways and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Xiaguan will take you to the warehouse right now."

He immediately led the way to the goods piled up to be transported to the front line.

They came to a huge warehouse, where stevedores loaded the items in the warehouse into train containers next to it.

Lu Xiaoyu introduced: "Your Highness, this batch of supplies is mainly medicines, bandages and other medical supplies.

These are urgently needed goods on the front line, and the superiors have issued orders to arrange train transportation first."

Prince Su Shu said to the guards: "For each item, randomly select some samples."
